BULAWAYO – In a remarkable gesture of faith-driven compassion, the Zimbabwe Council of Churches (ZCC) Greater Bulawayo chapter visited Mlondolozi Khami Prison on Thursday, offering spiritual upliftment and material support to inmates.
The delegation, led by ZCC General Secretary Rev. Wilfred Dimingu, included members of the Bulawayo Women Ecumenical Fellowship (WEF), Bulawayo Local Ecumenical Fellowship (LEF) Chairperson Rev. Mbongeni Dube, and other church leaders. The visit is part of the ZCC’s broader commitment to holistic community outreach under the banner of the Christian AidBrot für die WeltNCA - Advocacy Programme for Africa.
Rev. Dimingu delivered a powerful devotional message during the visit, reminding both inmates and guests that, “Love and compassion can overcome any hardship.” His message resonated deeply within the prison walls, bringing a sense of hope and spiritual renewal.
Beyond the ministry of the Word, the Women Ecumenical Fellowship extended their generosity with donations of sanitary wear, soaps, and food hampers—critical items aimed at restoring dignity and improving the well-being of prisoners.
“This visit is not just about preaching; it is about being Christ’s hands and feet,” said Rev. Mbongeni Dube. “We are called to serve not only those outside prison walls but also those who feel forgotten inside them.”
The initiative reflects ZCC’s unwavering commitment to holistic ministry—blending faith, compassion, and practical support to touch lives in the most challenging of places. It is also in alignment with the objectives of the upcoming Love Zimbabwe Festival, a platform that continues to unite Christian efforts towards national healing and transformation.
The ZCC said it would continue to foster such outreach efforts, not only as acts of charity but as declarations of dignity and hope in action.
As Rev. Dimingu concluded, “The light of Christ shines brightest in the darkest places. Today, we carried that light into Mlondolozi.”
